A Gonzalo Higuain header that hit the crossbar was the closest Juventus came to breaking the deadlock in their Champions League Group H opener against Sevilla in Turin on Wednesday.
Sami Khedira, playing his 50th Champions League match and fifth for Juve, had two chances to put the Italians ahead in the opening quarter of an hour and Paulo Dybala was foiled by keeper Sergio Rico, who time and again kept Sevilla in the match.
Valuable point for Sevilla
Just before the hour was up Higuain headed a Dani Alves cross onto the bar in the clearest chance of the match.
